Mount and Unmount USB drive in Ubuntu

Now we need to create a mount point for the device, let’s say we want to call it “usb-drive “. You can call it whatever you want. Create the mount point:

$ sudo mkdir usb-drive

Step 3 : Mount the Drive

We can now mount the drive. Let’s say the device is /dev/sdb1, the filesystem is FAT16 or FAT32 , and we want to mount it at /media/usb-drive (having already created the mount point)

$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb-drive

Step 4 : Check USB drive contents

$ ls /media/usb-drive/

Unmount the Drive

$ sudo umount /dev/sdb1 Or$ sudo umount /media/usb-drive

NOTEError: umount: /media/usb-drive: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
Solution: It means that some process has a working directory or an open file handle underneath the mount point. The best thing to do is to close the file before unmounting.
